How can so much suffering befall one person, the screenwriter makes us believe that this is a curse, a curse handed down from our grandparents. The discussion of this drama is inseparable from its relationship with Cain and Abel. Brothers slaughter each other. The original sin of human beings is like cancer, extending to the children and grandchildren. Dominic believed in this curse. At the beginning, he understood that what happened to Thomas was biological or chemical, and had nothing to do with Thomas' upbringing. However, after reading his grandfather's manuscript, he began to classify himself and take the blame on himself. Until he can gradually accept himself and his stepfather. The final shift is so obvious that the director deliberately changed him into a red dress, which is quite deliberate but quite effective. In the end, in order to show that Dominic got rid of the curse, in fact, the screenwriter cleverly started the foreshadowing from the third and fourth episodes. He lost a brother, but found another brother. This is his redemption and his liberation. Taking the pain of losing a loved one and the suffering within the family as the theme, this drama is very similar to "Melrose" in the previous few years, except that "Melrose" is shot in a more refined and British style, while "I Know This" It's True"'s approach is more documentary, and the hand-held camera and close-up of the face accentuate this style. Uncle Mark is one of my favorite male actors, and his characters are always angry, a little cynical, and burdened. The anger of his characters is not without reason. When you look, feel and think from the perspective of these characters, you will be like the social worker in "I Know This Is True" and find "I finally understand why you are so angry. ."

    Bitter Uncle Mark. The twins must have been born after the grandfather raped the mother. Just leave this story after watching the remaining 3 episodes. ——At the end of the season, I didn’t expect to guess wrong, and the pair of aborigines have the same father. Dominic was finally relieved, from his brother, from the hatred of his stepfather, from the guilt of his wife and children. Most importantly, he finally got rid of his curiosity and hatred for his biological father. what! This director + screenwriter wrote "Blue Valentine"!
